Frech> Violation of fundamentum divisionis (that is, it's more than one issue) and
a potential nitpick:
- windmail-fileread: allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files
- windmail-pipe-command: execute commands via shell metacharacters
- The conjunction 'or' should be 'and', if you decide to stick with one CAN.
Christey> As Andre basically said without naming content decisions,
CD:SF-LOC says this should be split.
HOWEVER - the author of the product says that WindMail isn't
supposed to be a CGI script, and says that the pipe
character problem is not related to Geocel. So should CVE
record when someone runs a program that wasn't intended to
be a CGI? There may be a level of abstraction issue here.
Note that Perl and shell interpreters in CGI-BIN are
already mentioned in CVE-1999-0509. If we want to include
"using a program that wasn't designed to be a CGI" as a
problem, we should have a separate candidate.

which also claims that the original announcer hasn't provided
any more details after the author was unable to reproduce the
problem.
CHANGE> [Magdych changed vote from REVIEWING to REJECT]
Magdych> After reviewing the author's comments, I'm inclined to think that this is more of a misconfiguration than a vulnerability.
